Well, well, after a while without a tapas route in Cieza, this coming weekend brings us the first edition of the 'Cieza Tapas and Puchero Route 2017', organized by the Cieza Hotel and Restaurant Association and the Cieza City Council.
The Cieza route changes its date and name, but it will continue to be a success in terms of participation, just as the traditional Cieza Tapas Route has always been.
A total of 27 premises, Restaurants, Bars, Cafes, Pubs, Ice Cream Parlors and Confectioneries, from Cieza will participate in this first edition, which will take place between next Friday, November 10th and Sunday, November 26th, both inclusive.
The price of a tapa + drink (a beer or a fifth of Estrella de Levante) on this route is €2.50. Dessert will also cost €2.50, and a cocktail will cost €3.50.
Participating Restaurants, Bars, Cafes, Pubs, Ice Cream Shops and Confectioneries
We'll be able to sample delicious tapas and the occasional stew from Cieza's rich cuisine in the bars and restaurants, and even in a participating sandwich shop. Of course, after those tapas, we all hope to enjoy desserts prepared by Cieza's skilled artisan pastry chefs in the participating confectioneries and ice cream parlors. When the time comes, we'll sample the cocktails, of which there are many this year, always prepared with great care and dedication by the participating cafes and pubs.
